Other celebrities concur, including Clooney pals Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts.
Bradley Cooper has said actors should maintain some mystique.
“If I know so much about you and you’re playing a character in a movie then that’s a lot of work I’m gonna have to do to forget who you are so that I can believe the character and therefore enjoy the movie,” Cooper said.
Jennifer Aniston has been quoted saying: “If I took to Twitter or anything, I would really send people over the edge, probably just correcting every false rumour.”
Tina Fey has a different reason for staying away from social media.
“Most people are so f***ing boring that they should shut up. Go write it in a journal and mail it to your grandma.”
